About the tides at Massaponax

Massaponax has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 2.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

Massaponax is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Park Turn, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 16 m earlier.
